Anne Riley is an author of young adult fiction disguised as a high school Spanish teacher. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama with her husband and their daughter.After graduating from the University of Alabama with a double major in advertising and Spanish, Anne wrote several complete manuscripts, none of which will ever see the light of day. In fact, she likes to pretend they never existed in the first place, although this isn't really fair as those manuscripts helped her find her voice as an author.Anne has written two novels she's willing to share with the world, and a third is coming soon. She plans to write until she runs out of stories to tell, which, she admits, isn't likely to happen anytime soon.Other than writing, Anne enjoys reading, painting, watching interior design shows, pretending to cook, and drinking coffee until she starts to twitch. Her literary inspirations are as varied as her hobbies and include J.K. Rowling, Suzanne Collins, C.S. Lewis, Jane Austen, Kate Morton, and Alexandre Dumas.
